The Bottle Tree: A Sparkling Glass Sculpture that You Design

Create a unique and striking piece of colorful garden art

It's easy to arrange and rearrange bottles

Bottles are sold separately

Placing empty glass bottles (wine bottles, antique bottles, colorful bottles) in the garden as a way to trap evil spirits is a Southern tradition. These days, a bottle tree is also a way to remember a special celebration or add sparkling color to a quiet spot in the garden.

I LOVED the bottle tree concept...until a wind came through & sheered-off one of my 3 bottle trees at the base and broke all but 3 of my bottle trees, which was filled with gorgeous blue bottles. I have enjoyed having the trees in my gardens so much, that I bought additional trees over the past few years. The one that sheered and broke at the base was NEVER straight, always crooked. Because of that breakage, I decided that when I should take one of the others out of the ground. As I went to do that, prior to winter, my second one sheared off and broke as well. So I decided to leave the third one up through the winter and will NEVER try to remove it. Thank goodness that second one had all the bottles removed. Expensive items to shear off that easily, as well as dangerous to worry about falling over and having broken glass all over.

Very disappointed. The tree snapped off at the base connection the first week it was up. Could not be repaired so it is now useless.

The idea was great but when we went to set it up the hole that the top goes through was too small so we were unable to connect the top part to the base. We tried to put just the top part in without the base but it blew and bent in the wind.
